obama folks, look at the electoral map map. we could be in for quite a finish if they are both right. >> they are both right. we talked the popular vote. polling out today, if you look at the president's lead for instance on the west coast in california, the lead has been cut in half. i have done back to the envelope map. romney makes up 6 million, 7 million, 8 million votes. he could pick up a bunch of votes in the non-battleground states. go to the battleground. i'll show how easy it is. if you take today's polls, the president is winning in virginia. wisconsin is on the ground. it leans toward the president. now you give him new hampshire and he sits at 270. that's giving romney ohio, florida and iowa and colorado. that's this issue of the battleground versus the popular. >> more to come from chuck todd. thank you very much. i want to get to the battleground governors. rachel maddow is here from msnbc. carly fiorina. david baracrooks from "the washington post." i feel it's going to be dominated by the economy. it can tip the

very few polls has obama got over 50% of the vote. normally a president in the last poll he gets about all he s going to get. what is left undecided very rarely decide to vote for the incumbent that they have, nope full yell for four years. i'm he a little struck by the new york times rendition of this. because i think it is an incredibly close race. i think it wouldn't be close if it hadn't been for the hurricane. i told somebody if obama is reelected they ought to call him president sandy. >> let's talk about the hurricane briefly here. you are in a state that has been affected by hurricanes before and there has been a lot of criticism thrown at governor chris christie from republicans saying listen you gave the president a huge photo op and looking bipartisan and that will give the president a better picture going into the final days of the campaign. what do you think of the criticism of chris cristie and what has happened with his state. >> he is one of romney's biggest supporters. his first job is as governor of new jersey. they
